The Lost Blood The Quickening
HunterI look at Diana one last time before I leave the room. Her temperature has started to rise again so I want to go and make sure everything is ready for when she starts. No doubt it's going to be a long night. I remember my first shift and the unbearable pain to the point I was begging for death. Death would have been kinder.I walk to the garden to see my parents, Bonnie and Orion sitting around the outdoor table drinking. They are all laughing except for Orion who sits with a blank face."Is everything ready?" I say to them as they stop to look at me. "Yes everything is perfect. Is Diana ok?" My mother answers."Sleeping" I say gruffly."Sit, have a drink with us, I'm sure she will come down when she's ready. We have hours yet" my father states. I glance over to the spot that's been set up. Furs and cushions lie on the floor and some chairs a few feet away. Lamps have been set up and buckets of ice water lined up to the side. "Is that enough ice?" I say not thinking it is.

DianaI'm floating not in control of my body but I can see and hear everything happening around me. The excruciating pain that I felt is no longer there. I can't feel my body at all and I gaze up at the stars above me, grateful for a respite in the agony of my bones breaking and burning. I can hear Bonnie screaming and muffled sobs. I can see Hunter in my peripheral vision but I'm unable to move my eyes. I'm fixated on the sky above me and focus on one star in particular which is brighter than the rest. I float up higher leaving my body behind. I try to turn my head to look down but in my minds view all I can see is the sky. The sounds from below are too far to now hear clearly. I feel a gentle tug from my chest which increases my speed slightly into the sky. The tugging becomes more insistent and I notice how the stars start to blur until they merge and form a blinding white light all around me. The light doesn't hurt my eyes - which is good since I don't technically have usable

England - 2017"DIANA, HURRY UP YOU'RE GONNA BE LATE!"I hear my mom's voice yell from the bottom of the stairs. I roll my eyes and quickly start grabbing stuff for school, before glancing at my reflection in the mirror as I rush past. My long black hair has soft curls almost reaching down to the top of my jeans, I briefly imagine it short and inwardly shudder. I love how it makes me feel, like a security blanket around my small frame. At only five foot two inches tall I am 'petite'. My father always calls me his 'petite fleur de lune'. I never minded when I was younger but coming up to my sixteenth birthday I'm still shorter than I had expected, given the height of my parents.My blue eyes look back at me and I check my make-up one final time.. "yes, you can do this" I pep talk to myself. I quickly scan the room, mentally making sure I have everything needed for my final exams. Finally leaving fucking secondary school, I am so excited to go to college after the summer and start my

Six years laterDianaI still feel uncomfortable sitting in this office even after 6 years. I know every detail. From the placement of the books on the shelves, to the number of blind slats on the window. Once a week I come here to discuss my failure of a fucking life. Highlighting my miserable existence and to check my medication is working. "And how are you sleeping?" Doctor Gavin Thorne asks me. I sigh. Fed up of going over the same shit every week. "Fine" I say. A lie. He looks down at my wrist which is slightly uncovered where my sleeve has rode up my arm. I instinctively pull my jumper sleeve down to hide the lie. The red ring that encircles my wrist is the evidence. Doctor Thorne looks at me sadly "Has there been another incident?" My mind instantly wonders to last night...."No". Another lie. I can tell he doesn't need to have a degree to know I'm lying. I don't even try to make myself sound convincing. Aside from the random panic attacks like the one I experienced on

BonnieI sit outside my dad's office listening to the voices from inside, as clear as if they were next to me. He knows I'm here. He also knows I can hear everything being said due to our heightened senses. Our senses would be sharper if it was not for the wolfsbane I take everyday. The whole village has to take a low dosage of it for our protection - for Diana's protection. The wolfsbane dose is so small it doesn't stop us from shifting, that would endanger us if we were ever attacked or found out about. It does however mask our scent from pack wolves and rogues passing the area. We live as closed off as we can, hiding in plain sight in human territory. A pack pretending to be humans living in an idyllic village. It's been this way for hundreds of years. Never mixing with other wolves and humans unless absolutely necessary. No other packs even know we exist except for the elders - The Ecclesia. A bunch of old as dirt fuckers with sticks up their asses. They come once every five yea

DianaMy eyes flutter open and I squint slightly from the rays of sun coming through the window. I lift my head and scan the room to see if my bed is still in its place - it is thankfully. My free hand goes to my necklace which holds a key and I reach across unlocking the handcuffs. I swing my legs out of bed and look over at my packed suitcase sitting in the corner. Maybe I can get out of going? I could fake an illness? I muse to myself. My bedroom door swings open and crashes against the wall. Bonnie struts in "Morning bitch! Are you ready to partay?" "Bonnie, I've just opened my eyes! And I need to do the plants and see my mom before we go" I say wearily feeling like I hadn't slept."I'll make you a deal... You get washed and dressed and I'll do the plants, then we can pop to see your mom as we leave...deal?""Okay.... I don't know what the rush is though, it's like 6am!""Just do it, c'mon chop chop.... Moooove bitch" she says as she claps her hands at me"Bloody hell your so

DianaWe drove for miles away from our secluded village in the south of England. Passing through towns and cities and finally out into the countryside again, towards what Bonnie called 'Drinksville'."Did we really need to go so far?.... Surely there was a closer spa we could have gone to?" I say trying to stretch my cramped legs. For nearly five hours we had been driving and my stomach rumbled. "We're almost here! And no, this spa is the shit!" We drive down into a valley, steeped with huge trees and numerous wooden lodges dotted about. It was beautiful. "We're here!" Bonnie squeals excitedly."Where is here exactly?" I say looking around."The Lake District a.k.a drinksville" Bonnie replies. "Come on, let's go get checked in" I get out of the car slowly, my bones aching from the long drive. We head towards the huge wooden and stone building, following the signs for 'reception'.Bonnie walks to the desk to check us in and I look around me, feet still planted in the same spot. Th

BrynorWe arrived at Hector's beloved pack a little before noon. We drove straight into the village in our blacked out limousine. Every other pack border in the country was heavily guarded and more often than not gated off from the outside human world.Pack scents are easily identifiable, warning rogues or other pack wolves of the territory they enter, but not Hector's. He had been so arrogant and self righteous in his way of living, that anyone could wander in and out and never know they had stumbled quite literally into the wolfs den. I step out of the car and smell deeply with my nose. The faint trace of something familiar catches my attention and I remove my sunglasses inhaling further. "Brynor?" I turn to see my two companions exiting the car. Ivan and Gregor. All three of us are dressed in expensive suits. To the innocent bystander, we look like business men in our forties but at over six hundred years old, we are dangerous. Unlike measly humans who grow frail. Us older, mo

The Lost Blood The Bite
Diana I return from the bathroom to see Hunter and Isaiah still standing looking at me."Would you like to explain the meaning of what your wolf said?" Isaiah says curiously.I look at Hunter who looks more worried than I've ever seen him. "I'm an Alpha" I say quietly."Impossible. Female Alpha's do not exist!" His dad says but even I can see he's rattled. "I didn't believe it either, but her wolf can do things that shouldn't be possible!" Hunter adds."Such as?" Isaiah asks Hunter but still looking at me warily."She's able to take over Diana at will even though she's been given enough wolfsbane to wipe out a small pack - it seems she's immune to it, She's impossibly strong already even though she hasn't shifted and I've never seen anyone who half shifts with such ease" Hunter states."I thought that was normal" I say sounding like a total idiot."Who is your father? What is your lineage?" Isaiah asks like he's trying to figure out a plausible explanation."My father was an Alpha.
The Lost Blood A New Day
DianaI wake up to thumping behind my eyes. "Urgh" I groan touching my head. I open my eyes to see Hunter smiling at me."Why are you smiling like an idiot at me?" I moan at him wincing from the pain. "The headache is a good sign" he says still fucking smiling at me. "Fuck off" I say bluntly throwing the pillow at him. He laughs at my feeble attempt at attacking him. "I had the worst headache the day I shifted. Be thankful you're not throwing your guts up like I was" he says rubbing my back. No sooner the words left his mouth I shot up and ran for the bathroom only just making it in time. I violently heaved and heaved until it felt like I'd brought up my liver. "This is normal?" I say resting my head on the toilet seat. Sheer exhaustion battered my body and I felt like I hadn't slept even though I'd just woke up from a good night's sleep. A thin sheen of sweat formed on my forehead and I felt my face burning. "Here" Hunter says passing me some water. "It will pass I promise
The Lost Blood A Warm Welcome
DianaThe drive back to Hunters pack was long but peaceful since Bonnie drove with Orion in her dad's car. She all but threw a fit when Hunter suggested we all drive together. She wanted her own car and came up with every excuse. She gets travel sick as a passenger, She needs to pee a lot and my personal favourite she needed the entire back seat and boot for all of her luggage - which technically wasn't an excuse as she filled her car, making Orion carry it all. During the drive Hunter told me about the conversation with his parents. How he had told them about me and his father's reaction. That he was prepared to leave until Orion called for their mother who had calmed the situation. It made me think about the pressures and burden Hunter had to endure growing up as the next Alpha and all the pack politics that went with it. Something I'd not known since I'd spent all of my life living under the guise of a human. The closer we got, the more nervous I began to feel and I could feel
The Lost Blood Hump Day
DianaThe church bell rings out in the village one lonely sombre peal. The four of us walk away from the churchyard, Hunter is at my side holding my hand gently. "Are you ok?" Hunter asks me quietly.I nod. Unsure of what I'm supposed to say. My mother had been gone for so long. Long before she passed away. I had been grieving her loss along with my father's for the last six years. The entire village had been at the service with the exception of the under sixteens. Something that I hadn't expected yet made sense at the same time. She had been their Luna, my father's mate. They had all bowed their heads to me as I walked past. Something that did not go unnoticed by Hunter and Orion. Was I really a female Alpha or was it as impossible as Hunter had said? The thought of me being a leader made me scoff. Me! I could barely cook dinner without burning the house down, I didn't even know how to pay my electric bill - all my bills and expenses were taken care of by Gavin and I hated con
The Lost Blood The Great Debate
DianaWe sit at the kitchen table, all four of us eating breakfast. Me and Bonnie made bacon and eggs which Hunter and Orion inhaled within minutes. Bonnie and Orion are back to their normal selves of bickering and sniping at each other and I watch with amused fascination. How they can get on each others nerves to the point of killing each other and then fall into bed confused the fuck out of me."So... Two days til a new moon" Orion says with a mouthful of toast.I nod. "Are you nervous?" Orion asks."Not really" I shrug. A lie. But I keep my face neutral as I feel all of them look at me slyly. "I'd like you to come back with me - in time for your shift" Hunter says carefully testing me."I already told you she needs to be here!" Bonnie says raising her voice. "I think that's Diana's choice" Hunter says calmly back. They all look at me. "Diana you need to do it here, the pack needs you to be here... Your pack" Bonnie's says pleading. "You don't seriously buy into this shit ab
The Lost Blood Knock Knock
DianaThere's a knock at the door and I ignore it. "Diana, it's Bonnie, can I come in?"I walk over to the door and unlock it letting Bonnie slide into the room.Her hair is stuck up in all directions and her cheeks are flushed. I walk back over to the bed and slump on it. "What's wrong?" She asks although I already know Hunter must have told her hence why she's come to play peacemaker.I give her a look with raised eyebrows as if to tell her as much. I'm not in the mood to be treated like a child. "Ok so Hunter told me" she concedes."I'm not upset, my wolf is. I thought it was my feelings at first. I feel like a freak. I'm not in control of my body or my emotions and I hate that she can pop up and shut me out whenever she feels like it" I confess."It's completely normal to feel this way at first" She says."How is any of this normal?" I rant "she chucked me out of my own mind and made out with Hunter!" Bonnie stifles a laugh. I let out a long sigh."You know whatever Hunter did
The Lost Blood Frenemies
DianaWe walk slowly back to my house hand in hand. I stop and look up at the moon. "How long til the next full moon?" I ask."Three days" Hunter replies."Do you think I'll shift?" I ask hopefully."That depends........ on the wolfsbane" he says thoughtfully. "Oh" I say disappointed."Do you feel your wolf now?" He says.I shake my head. "But she's really good at hiding..... It's obvious now I think about it that the wolfsbane wasn't really ever working.... Because she was still sneaking out when I was asleep" I say laughing, thinking about how clever my wolf was. "And this morning when I asked her to take away my pain - she did. So even though I can't feel her. I know she's there... Listening" Hunter stops walking and pulls me to face him. "What?" I ask."You're right!" He says like he's had an epiphany"She's been there all along, She's been hiding because she knew you weren't ready. The only thing the wolfsbane did was mask your scent" "So what does this mean?" I say sligh
